Romanian Street Art welcomes Tobias Barenthin Lindblad

On March 15, 2025, his graffiti workshop will delve into the art form’s history, techniques, and democratic significance, offering participants hands-on experience in letter design and large-scale painting. The following day, he will lead a guided tour showcasing Bucharest’s street art, discussing its social impact and artistic diversity.
